EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Woman in a large toile skirt, looking afraid of a spider" captures a moment of fear and vulnerability. The woman, dressed in an exquisite jupe de grosse toile skirt, is depicted with wide eyes and a startled expression as she encounters a spider. Her delicate features are accentuated by the translucent seathrough shawl draped over her shoulders. The image, handcoloured using the pochoir (stencil) technique by artist Gerda Wegener, showcases her exceptional talent for capturing emotions through illustration. This particular artwork was featured in Tommaso Antonginis Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1914 during the Belle Époque era. The fashion plate not only reflects the elegance and chic style of that time but also hints at the influence of Orientalism and Ballets Russes on Parisian costumes. It represents an amalgamation of different art movements prevalent during that period. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print evokes feelings of anguish and anxiety within viewers. The juxtaposition between the woman's beautiful attire and her evident fear creates an intriguing contrast that draws us into her emotional state. As we delve into this early twentieth-century masterpiece, we are reminded once again how art has always been able to capture human experiences across time.
